Hey guys. Finally set up a VM and coded properly without ANY problems surprisingly. Only did digital speedo but if anyone has questions regarding the setup of a VM please let me know. Also the cable i used was 35$ shipped and works perfectly

Edit- More coding done. Mostly everything is great. Im a little disappointed I cant edit my welcome lights (NFRM) and for some reason my bulb check wont go away even though i set the checks for my license plate to nicht_aktiv. Maybe a bulb is actually burned somewhere else? How could i check through inpa... Thanks guys

Would you guys prefer that I just upload my whole virtual VM with everything set up, just need to plug in the cable?

I was wondering why no one has done that while updating my daten. A new set of files with the latest edibas and daten 46.1 in the 3 folders like the original compressed folder the DIY referred to.

I just used oracle VirtualBox running xp corporate on my windows 7 home to avoid the upgrade cost. $35 ebay cable worked for me too. Added VO to add the alarm I just installed, activated all features, windows up, mirror fold, digital speedo, idrive disclaimer delete, door chime and seatbelt chime disable, angel eye DRLs. A little computer knowledge and the amazing people on this forum really make it work. Still working on figuring out making the welcome lights stay on for a full minute instead of 20 seconds.

You most likely are botching the welcome lights. They're not just aktiv or nicht_aktiv.
They're either nicht_aktiv or hart/soft_eins.... (spelling eludes me right now).
And for the bulb check turn off the bulb checks and the CC_*** lines as well.

Welcome lights come on and work. I tried to edit the FRM /NFRM module with the NETTODAT.TRC to make it stay on longer, but when I do the copysgbynettodat I get an error in german. (fehler beim einlessen der nettodatenliste)
